Sequential severe immune-related adverse events induced by PD-1 inhibitor: a case report and literature review.

In a variety of cancers, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated substantial survival advantages. Nevertheless, the widespread use of ICIs in the clinic has resulted in a growing interest in immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and their treatment methods. This paper reports a case in which a patient with three sequential severe irAEs was successfully treated.

The proportion of tumour stroma predicts response to treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitor in combination with chemotherapy in patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Aims: Immunotherapy has brought a new era to cancer treatment, yet we lack dependable predictors for its effectiveness. This study explores the predictive significance of intratumour stroma proportion (iTSP) for treatment success and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing treatment with immune check-point inhibitors (ICIs) together with chemotherapy.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively collected data from patients with unresectable stage IIIB-IV NSCLC who were treated with first-line ICIs and chemotherapy.

AHSA1 Regulates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression via the TGF-β/Akt-Cyclin D1/CDK6 Pathway.

Background: Activator of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) ATPase Activity 1 (AHSA1) regulates proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of osteosarcoma and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the novel mechanism of AHSA1 in the tumor biology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.

Methods: We analyzed AHSA1 expression in 85 pairs of clinical samples of HCC and the Cancer Genome Atlas database.

Anlotinib combined with pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma: a case report and literature review.

Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is an uncommon variant of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), known for its unfavorable prognosis. Previous studies have elucidated that PSC generally exhibits a significant expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), an elevated tumor mutation burden, and marked vascular invasion. These factors imply the possible effectiveness of treatments like immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy.
